NO UAV's Over My House !! The SCT Terrestrial goes up -continued




So here is our test model contraption ( my grandfathers word) with the PVC mounts and the two reference grids. You could use it hand -held this way, but I prefer the pistol grip out in the field. 
The 40 MM window on the dounut is still covered with the tacky paper, since  the unit is going 25 feet in the air, we wont see anything through it on this test.  I like the performance of the yellow zip ties on the end -cap seals, it adds strength to the back apron, and solves mounting problems while reducing metal content. 
Remember, the original idea for the SpiralCones was to keep metalic objects away from the coil and then Isolate them with decade resisters in the back of the coil. So now we're going to put this on top of the mast, and connect up the coax that was pre -installed.
